How long does Barnsley Council keep a stray dog?
Barnsley Council takes strays to its kennels and keeps each dog for seven days unless the owner comes forward. If it is unclaimed after that, the council tries to rehome it or send it to a dog rescue charity. Finders have a legal duty to report a stray dog to the dog warden service straight away.
